Ricorocks Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hello, Preferences for smoking wood chunks: Kiln Dried or Non Kiln dried? KJ II classic! 3 large 'post oak' chunks (wood rests on, bottom charcoal bucket), added 3 large KJ charcoal chunks & some smaller charcoal. I dialed in 250F, about 1.5 hours, removed slo-roller, & observed all 'post oak' was consumed. Long cooks, adding wood chunks every hour or so is that the norm? @Smokingdadbbq KJII classic slo-roller & lg smokeware drip pan, grill grates, sit on top & are free to move about.

John Setzler Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I never add any additional smoking wood to my cook after I start. You don't need to see visible smoke for it to be present in the smoker. I can't imagine all your smoking wood being consumed that quickly unless you torched it when you lit the grill. Wood chunks that have been smoldering in a smoker for a while look like charcoal. As for the drying method, I don't think it matters as long as the wood is dry.

Ricorocks Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hi John, I will replicate with pictures. I did not torch it, temp never over 250F. I find dialing in a temp & maintaining temp. Is pretty easy. KJ2Classic - slo-roller assembled, somkeware lg drip pan, combination, leaves loose grill grates. Dome closing can hit, grill grate. I think this needs pic's as well, to see user error. Thanks Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffieBoy Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 @Ricorocks where are you finding post oak in Ontario? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtemple Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I'm with John, I have never added more chunks during a cook. With a slo roller or head deflectors in place, and a big hunk of meat on the grill, that would sure be a hassle. Kiln dried or not, I don't think it matters. I have a giant bag of wood that came straight off my aunt's apple trees that I use. JeffieBoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
